Aha, the dholes pair were still there back when I visited in February of this year. My guess is that the dhole you saw might be a off-display individual that was temporarily stored in the zoo for issues like keeper training and such, Faunaland and their affiliated facility are currently the only eks situ holders of dhole in the country, so the chances that TMII getting them from there are high.

When I went, two dholes were on display normally, and the other one was locked in a transport cage. I saw a total of three dholes.
 

Jagat Satwa has a Chinese Alligator off-display, I don't know whether they're going to display it or not. If they do, I hope they'll display it at Dunia Air Tawar, with the caiman moving to Taman Reptil, occupying the currently vacant former New Guinea crocodile exhibit (that was formerly the albino saltwater croc exhibit)

While this is a interesting news, it's unfortunate that this and others a lot of time came from these clowns haha

I don't feel like there's any clear incentive on having them fully off-display, since breeding seems unlikely as they only have atleast an young alligator. Having them on-display would be interesting but of course the timeline wouldn't be announced most likely.

I feel Dunia Air Tawar is much better for the Chinese Alligator since it has deeper water and colder air, thanks to the air conditioners
 
Perhaps we're not looking at one mammal area, but a complex, with "Farm House" being one of them

Fardhan Khan's echidna and pangolin were never shown in the marketing for Farm House

A "farm" with Ocelots is wild to think abiut

That would great, but honestly that naming convention is not out of the ordinary with the state of newer Indonesian zoos right now :oops:

What they might looking for is the branding, since "Farm House" might suggest for local guests to be an petting zoo of some sort. Where something like a "Mammalia Park" might be seen as simply viewing at the mammals, which in the mind of these guests might not worth their money.

It's also worth noting that in the first reveal post of Farm House, interactions and feeding experiences are heavily emphasized. And for the last note, there's a lot of private exotic pets collections in the US that are called a "farm" by their owners, not that it's less weird :p

  • Largemouth bass and zander on the fish list, huh? I assume they will be a part of a future North American and European exhibit, and so far only largemouth bass that is available on fish stores.
  • Myanmar arowana is still not readily found in Indonesian fish stores AFAIK.
  • I think DAT kept Tuerkayana magnum in the past back in 2019 when they had that small section for invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians.
  • CGS was in Taman Reptil, back in the early days of the reopening after its renovation. I feel it would've been better in DAT than in Taman Reptil, as it needs deeper water.

It safe to assume that Jagat Satwa Nusantara do have foreign sources, especially with how they got their Indochinese box turtles and presumebly also the Chinese alligator, as well as mormyrops anguilloides and Australian lungfish (The latter I believe are exclusively imports, as there's no farms or permanent source domestically, if considering that lungfish wasn't donated by some private owner). Those foreign species, a lot of them being practically non-existant in the captive trade here, are very likely to be directly imported. Really shows what has to be one of the few facilities managed by avid collectors in Indonesia.

I'm aware of a temporary land crab display in the past when Mr. Rian Dietra was still a staff there, though I'm honestly not particulary know much about the giant salamander in the earlier post-revitalization time. How do you know that they had Chinese giant salamander on-display at that time?

  • I think from videos on YouTube, as far as I know
  • I hope they'll move the Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman to Taman Reptil's currently vacant small crocodylian exhibit (formerly housing the leucistic saltwater crocodile and the New Guinea crocodile) and its exhibit will be occupied by the Chinese Alligator, though Chinese Alligators can get slightly big (seen previously by me in HK Ocean Park and River Wonders back in 2012 and 2014 respectively). Also hoping for a possible Yangtze exhibit featuring Chinese cyprinids like the Hi-fin Banded Shark and the currently available Grass Carp.

Speaking of Troides helena, I remember buying a live Troides helena cocoon from an entomologist in Museum Serangga for my school's science project back in 5th grade. I actually bought around two or three cocoons because some of my classmates couldn't find live butterfly cocoons.

And I'm also glad the real tiger salamander has replaced the mutant albino one. Also, the addition of hermit crabs in Museum Serangga is pretty cool!
